About the Author

From a young age, Alan Mitter found himself born into a world of mystery he had no option
but to try and solve. This was the supreme mystery of life and existence itself, while staring
into the face of inevitable death. The mystery had to be solved before death had its way.
He knew that because everything, including himself and the whole creation, has happened
and come to be, 'somehow', so 'somewhere' the answer surely existed and so must be able
to be found, known and understood.

His articles express the many aspects of his search and the thought processes which enabled
him to piece together the pieces of the jigsaw which he didn't realise he had been building
until the last piece fell into place. In that single moment the darkness of his confusion
disappeared in an explosion of light (see Article 4 and Article 6).

Alan was born in a country town of a Baptist father and Methodist mother and attended the
Methodist Sunday School classes until he was about the age of 12. It was in his mother's
home as a child that the meetings took place which saw the establishment of the Methodist
Church in the town, with his grandfather as a foundation member and one of its lay preachers. He died when Alan was 7.

So it was, that from the age of 11 or 12 that Alan's quest for life and the answer to its mystery
began and was later realised during the time of his experience as an architectural
draftsman in his early 20's, after which time he spent 9 months studying in a Catholic
seminary, followed by a period of 18 months as a housing construction supervisor, then more
architectural drafting for 5 years. Then came a teaching position at Methodist/Uniting Church
Wesley College teaching Technical Drawing for a period of 17 years followed by 10 years
working in state schools teaching mainly Technical Drawing and Woodwork combined with
much relief teaching until retirement. During retirement, 5 years was spent teaching as a
member of his local parish's religious education team. Many of his articles were written
during this period.

He is father to two sons. His marriage of 24 years was unsuccessful. Since 1994 he has lived the single
life, and since 1980 has been dedicated to the work of promoting
the nurturing, respecting and protecting of the lives of every person from the moment his/her
life begins at conception, right through until his/her natural or accidental death.

His whole desire is that the material in his "Love God" website may serve to assist its readers
in their own individual quest to solve and understand and appreciate ever more and more the
wonder, the incredibly awesome wonder, of the gift of this great mystery of our life and being
we all have received as children of an eternally uncreated Father, who has called us all to
share with Him the unending wonder of His own eternity.
